The Allegheny County District Attorney's Office is deciding whether an officer with the Robinson Township Police Department should face criminal charges.

Robinson Township Solicitor Jack Cambest confirmed to KDKA on July 30 that a police officer has been suspended with pay. Sources told KDKA officer Steve Pies is accused of being involved in a road rage incident earlier this month. 

A spokesperson for the Allegheny County Police Department said the alleged incident happened on Forest Grove Road in Robinson Township on July 2. 

Police would not confirm what happened, but sources told KDKA that Pies, who was off duty, followed the alleged victim to his workplace, where things got physical. Sources said the victim needed medical treatment, but it is not clear how seriously they were hurt. 

"The township took what they thought was necessary action involving one of their police officers and they turned it over for independent investigation," Cambest told KDKA. 

County police investigated the alleged incident. Now, the district attorney's office is reviewing the report, though the office said it cannot comment on the status of an ongoing investigation. 

Robinson Township Police Chief Tim Westwood didn't respond to KDKA's request for comment on July 30. 

Alleged victim attends board of supervisors meeting

The alleged victim, according to sources, is Al Cannella, who attended Monday's Robinson Township board of supervisors meeting. He sat in the second row with his wife, and told KDKA he is not ready to talk about what happened. 

"You will know in time," he said on Aug. 4. 

Cannella, who runs Al's Service on Forest Grove Road, suffered injuries to his head and ribs, sources told KDKA. 

Cambest said the board hasn't heard Pies' side of the story.

"Will Officer Steve Pies be fired or let go after the preliminary hearing, should charges be held?" KDKA's Jennifer Borrassoa asked.

"That all depends on if he's charged," Cambest said. 

The solicitor added that Pies has been on the force in Robinson Township since 2006. KDKA asked if Pies has been disciplined before, but Cambest said he can't comment on personnel matters.

Regarding the alleged road rage incident, sources said police reviewed video evidence, and there is at least one witness who corroborated the incident.
